New school year rings in at local schools It’s back to school time in Shellbrook.

Students of all ages dusted off their backpacks and peeled the plastic from their new binders before heading to the classroom on September 3.

Shellbrook Elementary School Principal Dwayne Tournier was happy with the turnout on day one of the new school year.

“Our numbers are starting to look good,” he said. “I think as of now we are up to 196 students, so that’s good. I think I projected roughly around 200 kids.”

According to Tournier, the numbers are fairly comparable to last year’s enrolment.

“I think last year we were just above 200, and new students are still trickling in, so I’m thinking we’ll be roughly at the same point this year. Which is good to see.”

Aside from the new and returning students, there will also be a few new faces in the staff room this year.

“We have Tammy Jewitt, she’s our new grade two teacher, she’s coming from Debden school, so she’s here full-time. We have Nicole Spencer who’s kind of doing a replacement for a teacher who’s off for bit . . . starting next week she’ll be here full-time, because she’s replacing two staff members that we have gone. And we have Barb Benson, she’s half-time EA here, and a halftime EA in Canwood,” Tournier said.

One big change this year will be the newly scheduled school day, which will start at the usual time but run fifteen minutes longer. Instead of ringing at 3:05 p.m., the final bell will now sound at 3:20 p.m. Some students may not be happy with this news, but the rescheduling did pose at least one advantage.

“Last year . . . one period had 30 minutes, one had 35, one had 40, so they were kind of all over the board,” Tournier said. “But now, with the extra 15 minutes, it’s making all periods have the same amount of time all across the board.”

One of the first big events of the year will be the Terry Fox run, which will be taking place on September 13 as a joint effort between the elementary school and W.P. Sandin High School.

“Harriet Tomporowski (the new principal at W.P. Sandin) and I have been talking quite a bit already, just to have a stronger partnership between the high school and the elementary school,” Tournier said.

“It’s great to see Harriet coming to our community having that experience of Kindergarten to a grade 12, because that’s what her school was . . . She’s already been talking to me about plans down the road, what we’re going to do, how we’re going to build

And then it’s going to make it a lot easier for when our kids have to go to the high school, it’s not a big scary thing anymore.

They are familiar with it, and they are familiar with the staff there and hopefully the building.”

Over the last few years, a number of improvements and technological advances have taken place at the school.

A couple years ago they completed an upgrade that saw Smart Boards installed in every classroom, and over the summer some upgrades were made to the pre-Kindergarten play area.

“Just a couple weeks ago they finished putting up the playground equipment for our pre-K’s. So we have the little swing set there, the sandbox, the spin cup that’s in the

corner, and the picnic table,” Tournier said.

“We’re just starting to fill it up with a few things, we don’t want to pack a bunch of stuff, it’s not a huge area.”

The plan is that the improvements will not end there. “This year we’re still kind of throwing around ideas. One idea that I have that I’m going to be presenting to the SEC is possibly iPads for the classrooms,” Tournier said.

“Kids absolutely love iPads . . . And there are just so many apps out there that teachers can download and use, and kids love them, and they are learning. It looks like a game to them.”

The Before and After School Program will run again this year to provide parents with the option of bringing their children to school early, or picking them up late.

“It’s going to continue, the same thing as last year,” Tournier said. “It’s actually run through the Town, but they use our building . . . parents can drop them off from any time between 7:15 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. . . . at the end of the day, they can stay until 6:30 p.m.”

While the program will be similar to last year’s version, there will be one minor adjustment.

“Last year they were set up in an empty classroom, but we went up a staff so we had to take that classroom for a teacher . . . so we’ve moved the Before and After School Program to be run both out of the gym and the pre-K room,” Tournier said.

The gym has its obvious advantages, and access to the pre-K room will allow for the kitchen to be used so that they can again get some baking done within the program.

Local group returns home after trip of a lifetime It’s not often that we get the chance to see the world from a different perspective.

That’s exactly the opportunity that nine young members of the Shellbrook community were given on a recent trip to Ghana, West Africa.

Everyone returned from the trip safe and sound, carrying with them the lessons and memories that are sure to last a lifetime.

Following years of fundraising and prep-

aration, the day finally came for Joshua Boettcher, Zachary Boettcher, Lisa Forbes, Taryn Moe, Sara Shakul, Josie Hamilton, Susie Hamilton, Madison Bourgeault, Hannah Miller, and chaperone Karen Mason to board a plane and set off on their humanitarian adventure.

Once they made it to the airport, however, a few snags made for some dicey moments leading up to their departure. It was a case

13091DX00

of some missing documentation, but after some quick thinking and a little bit of help, the entire crew made it onto the aircraft.

The group flew to Minneapolis, and then Amsterdam, before arriving at their final destination of Accra, Ghana. They were welcomed by a hot, crowded airport, and everyone was relieved to find one of their facilitators, Chris, waiting to take them to their next location.

They spent the first night of their trip in Accra, which is the capital of Ghana. The accommodations were less than they were used to, but they were soon to find out that this would be one of the most luxurious sleeps of the trip.

All the girls were placed in the same room with bunk beds, while the guys had a room of their own. The water didn’t smell right, and when they turned on the shower, a little bug ran out of the tap.

Nevertheless, they had survived the long trip and were happy to finally get there.

Following supper they had the first of their nightly meetings with their facilitator to go over rules and debrief on the happenings of the day.

The next day they set off on the five hour journey to the western region where they would be staying for the majority of their visit. The traffic was jam packed, there were no lines on the road, and speed bumps and pot holes dotted their path.

Some claim that the roads in Saskatchewan are rough, but this was a whole new ballgame. Tropical palm trees lined the sides of the road, providing the scenery for their drive.

When they first arrived in the village of Nyameyiekrom, they received an extremely warm welcome, appropriate for the muggy climate.

They were invited into the chief’s “palace”, which was the nicest of all the huts in the village.

They learned that they were only the second group to receive this high honour, perhaps owing to the fact that they were the last humanitarian group to be visiting the village before the end of the year.

The children of the village were very happy to see them arrive. They would run up to the group and hug them, and even with their limited English they would repeat the phrase “you’re welcome” over and over again.

After visiting with the villagers, the group made it to the spot where they would be spending most of their nights, a place called “Fanta’s Folly”. The air was dripping with humidity, so much so that the sheets on the beds were wet. The water from the taps was yellow in colour, never hot, and not to be consumed.

The next morning they were put to work.

Their job was to help build a school being erected in the village.

Being the last group to arrive for the summer, the foundation of the building was already in place and the walls were well on their way to being completed.

The group’s main job was to make the bricks and the mortar for the building. The bricks were made by taking a bag of concrete, four heaping wheelbarrows of sand, and mixing them together with shovels.

Eventually someone would come along and splash some water on the concoction, and they were to keep working at the concrete until they felt it was ready to be made into a brick. At that point, they would place the mixture into a mold, and then dump it out “like a sandcastle”.

It would then have to set for three days. A tradesman and his helper would then take the materials and use them to continue assembling the schoolhouse.

Another job they were tasked with was digging a big hole to be used as the foundation for the steps. It was hard enough work plunging into the solid red clay with a pickaxe, but when they hit a buried stump the group was really in a bind.

While they were trying to figure out how to proceed, some more experienced labourers jumped into action, using a machete to chop up the stump and roots by hand before clearing them out of the hole.

Aside from all the hard work, the group was able to take in a number of interesting activities during their stay.

On the way to the beach where they would swim in the ocean, they encountered a small fishing village that was preparing for a catch.

While the massive net was being dragged into the water, the entire village chanted a song that helped the fisherman synchronize their work and find a rhythm to work together.

The group was also invited to help make a traditional dish enjoyed by the locals, something called “fufu”. This was done by using a large mortar and pestle to mash up plantains until they became doughy, then adding cassava and working them together into a large dough ball. The product was then put into soup, cut with the fingers, and usually swallowed whole. While it was important to slurp the dish down without chewing, it did wonders to fill the belly and allay hunger, at least for a little while.

They also had the opportunity to visit a place called Cape Coast Castle, a location once used to harbour slaves before they were sold. Most of the slaves that travelled to North America would have went through this castle, and the group was told of the horrible conditions that these men and women were forced to endure.

They were packed into the small rooms like sardines, forced to defecate, vomit and eat off the same floor. Since those days, most of the floors of the castle have been excavated, but one remained untouched, allowing visitors to see the undisturbed soil where the captives once stood.

One night was spent in a place called Hans Cottage Botel, a dwelling built atop a crocodile farm. The actual crocodiles lounged right below the rooms, though members of the group were told there was nothing to worry about, as crocodiles are only vicious when they have not been fed.

While these conditions may seem risky, the group was willing to overlook them as this particular location actually served cold drinks, something they hadn’t experienced in a few hot days.

Another highlight was a pickup soccer game that they played against the children of the village. Though their opponents were only nine and ten years old, the group claims they would have been completely outmatched had they not recruited the local drivers onto their team.

Aside from the work and the play, just being able to travel to this third-world country and see the poverty with their own eyes has had a profound impact on those who made the trip.

They spoke of the unsanitary conditions, the pollution and garbage lining the side of the road, the smells of that same garbage being burned to make room for other things. They spoke of how happy the children seemed, though their bellies protruded with malnourishment.

Many were touched at how important education was to these villagers. Through the Free the Children program, local communities have a choice between five different areas of development.

Saskatchewan River School Division holds welcome barbeque A barbeque took place at the Prince Albert Collegiate Institute on August 30 meant to welcome back all staff who are about to embark upon another school year.

Barry Hollick, chair of the Saskatchewan Rivers School Division, said that the event was an opportunity for everyone to get together, and also a way to thank all of the staff in advance

Staff gathered for a barbeque to help kick start the new school year.

for another great year. “It’s not only for teachers, it’s for our bus drivers, our school secretaries, our caretakers, and all our employees. We’re really pleased to get them back,” Hollick said.

John McIvor, a Saskatchewan Rivers School Division board member, is also excited about the upcoming school year, and is looking forward to seeing how some of the new scheduling changes will play out. “I think the new school day is going to be interesting, I’m sure we’ll have some growing pains,” McIvor said.

Some of these changes involve an increase in total classroom time, as well as a tweak as to when the school year will begin. “We went from 910 hours of instruction time, to I think we have 960 now, so that changed,” he said. “And then the starting after Labour Day, which is interesting.”

“When you start changing school years and things, I’m sure there’s going to be some growing pains, but everybody’s worked hard to make it work. We’ll evaluate it at the end of the year,” McIvor added.

As far as the reasons behind these changes? “The Ministry of Education said we had to do it,” McIvor said. “Brad Wall came out of a meeting with Tourism and . . . made the announcement. I think it caught everybody off guard.”

The sun shone freely onto the 500 or so staff members who made it out for the event, and board members handled all of the cooking and preparation duties for the meal. All in all it was a great chance for this geographically vast school division to get together and meet up, sort of like the calm before the storm. “We couldn’t have asked for better weather,” Hollick said.

Air patrols more expensive and less reliable than fire tower staff Using helicopter and aircraft patrols to spot wildfires in northern Saskatchewan is much more expensive and less reliable than keeping fire tower watchers on the job, according to SGEU. “It can cost $2,000 or more per hour for a helicopter patrol, and they are often sent out several times a day. When you consider the cost of fuel and other related expenses, it is obvious that air surveillance is far more expensive than keeping tower staff on the job,” said SGEU President Bob Bymoen. “According to our calculations, it would only take four days of air patrols to pay for a fire tower observer for

the entire fire season.”

The safety of families and communities in forest fringe areas continues to be a concern,” says Bymoen. “Air patrols are only sent out in extreme fire conditions. But lots of fires start in yellow alerts.”

Some areas, such as Hudson Bay, are currently experiencing extremely hot and dry conditions. There have been eight fire starts in the past few weeks in that area. “With many of the province’s fire tower observers no longer on the job, there are dangerous gaps in detection services, and expensive air patrols are not the answer,” adds Bymoen.

Frontline workers and community members have raised concerns about public safety following government’s decision to replace human fire tower observers with video camera surveillance. The technology has not been successfully implemented anywhere else in Canada.

“Fire tower observers are trained and experienced professionals who have been keeping families and communities safe in our province for decades. They provide high quality, cost-effective services. It is a mistake to eliminate these positions and leave people and property inadequately protected,” according to Bymoen.

Mosaic of a single colour

I finally got to take in a live Riders game last weekend. I wasn’t originally planning to go, but an old friend contacted me a couple of days before the game and informed me that a ticket would be waiting for me at the booth. I figured that the Labour Day Classic would be the perfect opportunity for me to experience Mosaic Stadium for the first time.

This province certainly knows how to support a football team. On game day, hundreds of kilometres away from the site of the contest, you would be hard pressed to find someone, anyone—patrons pumping gas into their cars, purchasing a coffee, standing in line at the counter—who is not donning Roughrider green.

Out on the highway, car after car sporting tiny green flags that hang onto windows while withstanding impossible speeds. Flags whipped into a flurry, registered as faint green blurs making frantic sounds that can only be transcribed by holding down a caps-locked “F” key.

The closer one gets to the staJON dium, the thicker the stream of white-striped green. Eventually, SVEC the numerous individuals begin to ~ blur into a collective mass, dense Reporter and flowing slowly towards a singular destination. Just outside the stadium sits a chaotic jumbling of noise and sound, a scene which, when separated from and able to observe, morphs into a motley collection of controlled rituals and pre-game traditions. Pocketed among the green sit huddles of the opposition, off-coloured and hushed as if fearing expulsion.

On this day, however, one pocket of blue bellowed and beat on their instruments, allotted a short square of asphalt to hold their peaceful demonstration. Others gravitated towards it, searching for safety in the numbers, and the two groups coexisted This without incident, save for the occasional province clever comment, usually met with colcertainly lective laughter. knows how There are so many benefits to watchto support a ing a game live. For the casual fan, the football colours and the atmosphere are enough team to bring you back. The food, overpriced but rich with sentimentality, is worth the expense. The company, the smells, the jolt of electricity when tens of thousands of individuals coalesce in jubilation. The feeling of the fireworks that boom with every home-team score—the flinch and subsequent laughter.

For the avid fan, there are even more advantages, especially with a sport like football where the televised version offers only a fraction of the truth. Only from the stands can you actually view all of the 24 players competing on any given play. You can select any one of them to isolate, depending on the situation, and actually watch the coverage and the routes and the jostling that goes on away from the camera. You get a better sense for the tempo of the game, for who is lined up and ready to play first, and the kind of motion and disguises that each team is trying to use.

For the former player, a trip to the stadium is the only way to relive some of those lost memories. Getting there early for warm ups, watching the preparations, the individual ceremonies used by each player in order to get ready for what’s about to happen next. The dynamics on the sideline, in between plays, can offer loads of insight into how cohesive a team is, and what they will do when the chips are down. And the reality of a jarring hit, indiscernible through a television screen, can almost be felt when the crush of pads is happening right in front of you.

It’s not always easy to make it out to the ballpark or the arena or stadium. It can be expensive, it usually involves travel and crowds and some logistical hurdles, but when the opportunity arises and is seized, it usually results in a powerful, memorable experience, and certainly offers a different perspective than the one seen from the couch.

YOUR TWO C ENTS ~

Federal government underfunds First Nations students’ education Dear Editor, While the Conservatives have spent the summer talking about their forthcoming First Nations Education Act, they continue to ignore the elephant in the room: the federal government dramatically underfunds First Nations students’ education.

For a country like Canada, it’s shocking that only a third of high school students on reserve graduate each year.

And while the reasons are complex, one stands out: the federal government, which is solely responsible for financing First Nations education, only funds First Nations students two-thirds of the average funding per student that the provinces provide to other schools.

This financing gap contributes to lower test scores, stunning drop-out

rates and a failure to equip students with the tools they need to compete and succeed in the modern workforce. It’s a big problem, especially since more than a quarter of the Aboriginal People in Canada are under 14.

This is a huge loss for our economy. Canada is coping with a lack of highly skilled people in the workforce, a problem which is projected to worsen. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce and other business leaders say higher investments in Aboriginal education are needed to employ this generation. One study found that by increasing Aboriginal education rates to the same level as non-Aboriginal Canadians could add $160 billion to the economy over the next seven years alone.

Sadly, nothing is being done, gov-

ernment spin notwithstanding.

Despite the Conservatives being in power for almost 8 years, the Auditor General found the government cannot demonstrate any progress in closing the First Nations education gap. Their record of neglect is shameful. And they continue to deny there is even a problem.

Giving all children a high-quality, relevant education and an equal opportunity to succeed is a core Canadian value. It is the right thing to do, and it’s also good for economic growth.

It’s high time we closed the gap.

ties _ especially smaller rural communities _ can do to capitalize on tourism opportunities in the future.

As previously stated, we aren’t exactly blessed with quite the same amenities as Vancouver Island, but one wonder if opportunities for tourism are being missed. Place like Eastend’s T-Rex Discovery Centre and the Cypress Hills, the Big Muddy, the forest fringe lakes providing camping and hunting opportunities or the chance to experience farm and ranch life, small community atmosphere or First Nations history may be greater than we realize.

Of course, it would take massive co-ordination and maybe a little vision from the government and Tourism Saskatchewan.

But in a province noted for its creativity, might there be possibilities?

One thing we certainly have going for us is previous decades of exporting people, as demonstrated by my Parksville visit.

Might it be possible that retiring baby-boomers and up in B.C., Alberta and elsewhere might want a summer week hometown visit or tour? Supposed the package included tickets to ‘Rider games? Or how about a house “exchange” program between current Saskatchewan residents and retirees elsewhere?

Are there creative opportunities we’re missing?

Sure, some places are blessed with more obvious tourism amenities. But that doesn’t mean we can’t make a few of our own.

children, younger than grandchildren gifted freedom by ancient sacrifices.

Physical reminders can sometimes aid us in our quest for understanding. They can touch our senses, blend with stories and confessions, help bring us a little closer.

One such reminder landed in Prince Albert last week—a reconstructed B-17 Bomber, true to its original state, a vessel that still flies and smells and sounds as it did during World War II. The B-17 is an iconic symbol of the war.

According to the Commemorative Air Force’s website, the B-17, “helped win the war in Europe by dropping over 640,000 tons of bombs.”

The aircraft sat at the Prince Albert Airport for most of the week, but it didn’t remain stationary. For a fee, passengers were offered the chance to go up in the plane to see what flying in a B-17 was really like.

Real Dagenais, a member of the Prairie Heritage Airshow Society, had the chance to take flight.

“I sat in the bombardier seat. It was the most exhilarating flight you could ever have. It’s unbelievable,” he said.

“This is a piece of history . . . we wouldn’t be living the way we are today if it wasn’t for aircraft like this.”

According to Shelby Bolke, a member of the Commemorative Air Force, the exhilaration of flying in the “Sentimental Journey” comes from its authenticity. “(It’s) loud, noisy. If it’s hot outside, you’re hot, if it’s cold outside you’re freezing. It was built strictly to take a bomb load to a target and back. There were no creature comforts whatsoever,” she said.

Flying piece of history visits Prince Albert The physical strength of the aircraft, mixed with its symbolic meaning, combined to create an extremely powerful, emotionally charged experience for anyone who visited. “This, to me, represents that generation,” Bolke said. “The guys that flew, or the marine that was in the mud, or the guy that got stuck in the Pentagon doing the paperwork, (or) the wives back home that had to put up with the rationing. That generation made such a sacrifice so that you and I could grow up in a free country.”

Those seeing the plane for the first time where impressed by its grandeur, but their experience paled in comparison to those who had seen the aircraft while it was in service. “The real emotional impact is when you meet the people who remember the aircraft,” commented Bob Spracklin, president of the Prairie Heritage Airshow Society. “We had one person here who, as a young boy in Belgium, watched these aircraft, one of them in particular, at an extremely low level, so low that he could see the pilot’s face. And to have him come in here and wander around this aircraft, and the look on his face and to talk to him, was something special.”

Even those whose relation to the plane was one-person removed felt a strong connection to the aircraft. “There was a person whose father was a navigator on this aircraft,” Spracklin said. “He got inside and asked, ‘Can I sit in the navigator seat?

I want to see and feel what my dad experienced during the war.’”

Shelby Bolke recounted yet another story of a man who grew extremely emotional when discussing the craft, brought to tears by the memory of a close friend who had flown a B-17. When the man learned that the craft would be visiting Prince Albert, he said, “I felt like he was bringing it to town to show me something that he never got to show me in his lifetime.”

“When you watch some of these guys that have been around these kinds of aircraft, and as soon as they are near it, that’s when all of these memories come flooding back, and you see it roll across their face,” Spracklin said. “The oil, and the hydraulic fluid, the exhaust, all this kind of stuff pulls together to a total experience.”

While the “Sentimental Journey” represents an extremely important aspect of World War II, the aircraft itself didn’t see much action. It was built in 1944 and delivered in 1945, after the war was basically over. From there it was sent to the Philippines and used for mapping. Later, the plane was sent to Florida to continue its military career as a “mother ship” for drone

aircraft tests. It was eventually retired from the military and ended up being used in California to drop “slurry” onto forest fires.

The aircraft was to be sold at auction as scrap metal before the Arizona Wing of the Commemorative Air Force got their hands on her. “At the time we didn’t have a building, we didn’t even have an asphalt square,” Shelby Bolke said. “They just pulled her off the runway and into the dirt, and our guys, in 114-degree summers, started working on an aluminum airplane out in the sun.”

The path to restoring the plane as an authentic B-17 was

paved with hard work and a lot of luck. After all, it’s not as though one can walk to the corner store and purchase B-17 parts. “In the old days, grandpa took a propeller home because he was going to do something with it, (and it ends up) in a barn somewhere,” Bolke said.

While some pieces may have been found in barns, others were located in even less conventional locations—the entire tail section, for instance. “(We) found it on top of a gas station in Orgeon,” Bolke said. “A guy bought a B-17 as surplus scrap after the war, and he put it on top of his gas station. You pulled in underneath the wings to get your gas.”

“We went down, took all the measurements, and fi xed his to make it look as authentic as we could,” Bolke said. “And then, for fi xing his, plus a lot of money, we took the original parts away and brought them back and put them in ours.”

Now that the plane had been fully restored, it spends its summers flying all over North America. “We bring this to different communities throughout the States and Canada as a flying museum, so people can see what it’s like, to see what our heroes before us, the World War II vets, did for us to keep us free,” commented pilot Fred Dewitt.

Since the plane was made to meet its original specifications, the pilots are forced to deal with the same technological hurdles faced by the pilots of the day.

“This one here is called a ‘conventional gear’, or what we pilots call a ‘tail dragger,’” pilot Jim Kimmel said. “It handles differently than the modern-day

airplane. It can be a little squirrely on the ground. The centre of gravity of this plane, on the ground, is behind the main wheels.

If you ever get it displaced with a cross wind, landing not straight, it will want to diverge.”

“And of course, back in those days . . . it was all what we call ‘arm strong’, or manual.

It’s all cables back there, there’s no hydraulic boost . . . so the guys that fought these in combat and flew for ten-hour missions—you needed two guys. You had to hand off and take turns, because it was just too much.”

Though Kimmel was forthright while explaining the plane’s

limitations, he was certainly not complaining. “I’m blessed with a very competent partner there at the controls,” Kimmel said, pointing to co-pilot Fred Dewitt. “You know, I just sit there and watch the world go by.”

These pilots are certainly part of an elite group, as they get to fly an aircraft that represents one of only eight or ten in the world that are still airborne. “The number changes all the time, a few years ago there were 13 of them,” Dewitt said.

Local community members were just as lucky to be given the chance to see the historical aircraft so close to home. The event was realized largely by the efforts of the Prairie Heritage Airshow Society of Prince Albert. “After the success of the airshow (last year), we formed a society to go ahead with doing it again,” President Bob Sprack-

lin said. “That, and things like this—bringing in historical aircraft. We made a lot of connections in that community last year, and that networking is what resulted in this aircraft being here.”

While the plane was a member of the United States Army Air Corps, it does have a few connections to Canada, and Prince Albert. “The site here, this was the Elementary Flight Training School for most of the Second World War, and it was also a dropoff point. Sixty-nine years ago there was a B-17 parked right here,” Spracklin said.

Pilot Fred Dewitt mentioned another Canadian connection as well. “It was used, we found out, to deliver mail for the Canadian Armed Services,” he said.

With each passing year, the number of remaining individuals who actually experienced World War II grows smaller and smaller. It is vital that their stories live on, that surviving generations learn from the mistakes of their ancestors and do everything in their power to avoid repeating them. Items like the “Sentimental Journey” can help achieve this.

“There aren’t that many links to what I would call living history,” Spracklin said.

“The stories, combined with the actual, functional items, also gives you an idea as to what your parents and your grandparents actually experienced.”

Wars are still being waged today—wars of violence, wars or tolerance, wars of oppression. It is important to remember those of the past who died fighting those same battles—that the mistakes of the past go unrepeated, that their sacrifices might not be in vain.

Green between the lines - Riders win big in Labour Day Classic

By Jon Svec They say that wounded animals are the most dangerous.

Fans and pundits may have written off the 1-7 Blue Bombers as they travelled to Regina last Sunday to take on the 7-1 Riders, but Winnipeg came screaming out of the gates when the Labour Day Classic kicked off at Mosaic Stadium.

The Bombers’ quick start may have surprised some, but it’s important to remember that these are professional athletes we are talking about, individuals with a lot of pride who have been playing this game for most of their lives, none of whom will roll over easily.

The game began with a number of shortlived series by both offenses, a back and forth jarring of field position that was eventually taken over with a phenomenal coffin corner punt by the Bombers Mike Renaud. The punt put the Riders in a first and ten situation from their own one yard line.

The Riders then lined up with a bunch formation to the weak side, and the Bombers loaded the line of scrimmage, something that they had done often in the early going.

On the first play of the drive the Riders attempted a run to the weak side with a downand-pull blocking scheme.

Winnipeg middle linebacker Henoc Muamba slipped past a potential blocker and corralled Sheets in the end zone for a loss and a safety, and the Bombers were on the board.

On the subsequent drive, the Bombers went two-and-out, and when the Riders got the ball back the offense finally began to click.

They recognized that Winnipeg was loading the box to stop the run game, so they began executing efficient pass plays, mostly out of a play action look, and found some success.

A Darian Durant scramble and run brought them close to the goal line, and then they subbed in Drew Willy to run the option with Sheets, who took it in for the score.

The biggest play of the next drive for the Bombers came in the form of a double reverse pass play to Clarence Denmark.

Just when the Bombers thought they had something going,

however, the Riders dialed up a nice blitz that freed up John Chick for a big sack.

Some think that heavy pressure only works if someone comes free to the quarterback, but this play provided a good example to the contrary.

The Riders sent extra players, but Chick was still placed in a one-on-one showdown with his offensive tackle. The advantage comes in the fact that the offensive tackle had no help, as everyone else was occupied in the protection scheme.

Once Chick beat his man he had a clear path to Goltz, proving that Chick deserved as much credit as defensive coordina-

tor Richie Hall for the play call.

The Riders went two-and-out on their next drive, and then the Bombers engineered another scoring series aided by a pass interference flag that moved them close to pay dirt. The drive was capped by a Goltz sneak that just barely broke the plane.

The two teams traded the ball a few times, and the next apparent swing in momentum came when the Bombers roughed the punter, giving the Riders a fresh set of downs.

The excitement of the fans at Mosaic Stadium was short lived, however, as on the very next play a Darian Durant pass was broken up and then picked off by Henoc Muamba of the Bombers, marking Durant’s first interception of the season. A

bevy of flags lined the trail for Winnipeg’s next drive, which was capped off by another Goltz touchdown on a pulled zone read play.

The Riders, however, would get another chance to steal the momentum back before halftime, and that’s just what they did. It only took three plays for Darian Durant to march his squad all the way down the field and hook up with Geroy Simon on a corner route in the end zone, placing it just over his shoulder to allow Simon the chance for a Willie Mays-esque touchdown reception.

The Riders held that momentum through the halftime period and into the third quarter, their first drive of the new half resulting in another touchdown score. This one was again scored by Sheets, and after forcing the Bombers into another two-andout series, they got the ball back and continued to pound Sheets into field goal range for another three points.

After yet another two-and-out by the Bombers, the Riders engineered another scoring drive, highlighted by a phenomenal catch by Weston Dressler and capped by a Taj Smith reception on a crossing route that he caught and carried into the end zone.

Just when it looked like the Bombers were ready to pack it in, Goltz brought them back into contention with a spectacular run. Winnipeg emptied out the backfield on the play, forcing the Riders defense to spread itself thin. The shotgun snap was low, but Goltz picked it up off the turf and ran straight down the middle of the field for a huge 46 yard touchdown run, making the score 31-25 for the Riders with eleven minutes to go.

The big run, however, proved to be a last gasp for the Bombers. The waning moments of the game saw two interceptions and a blocked punt by the Riders, all resulting in scores for the team in green and white.

Though the final score of 48-25 makes the game look onesided, it was anything but. Expect the Bombers to put in another hard week of practice and be ready to go when the ball kicks off in Winnipeg on September 8 for the rematch.

Canwood Summer Youth Program successful Canwood Summer Youth Program 2013 was another huge success.

The kids had a lot of fun playing games such as scavenger hunts, slip ‘n slide, dino-

saur digs, water fights and making crafts such as bird feeders, masks, rocket ships and enjoying all the snacks like fruit kabobs, cakes, cookies, muffins, and pasta, which

Canwood kids participating in the Summer Youth Program

went along with our weekly themes.

Our weekly themes were: Wacky Welcome Week, Wild Wild West, Jump Dive Splash, Disney Week, Hollywood in Canwood, Safari Week, and Around the World.

We had up to 30 kids a day, with a total of 63 participants registered in the program throughout the summer.

We had a great time going for outings in and out of town. Our first field trip was during Wild, Wild, West Week.

We walked to the Wapiti Library where we made some “Wanted Posters” and listened to some “good ole” cowboy stories read by the librarian Meagan Whiteside.

During this week we also had a Bike Rodeo, and we biked to and from Whispering Pine Place Nursing Home where we showed off our bikes to the residents and staff. During Jump, Dive, Splash Week we walked over and had a water fight at Whispering Pine Place.

That week we also went to the Shellbrook Swimming Pool for an afternoon of swimming and cooling off from the summer sun. Hollywood in Canwood Week we were extremely happy to go the Wapiti Library again where we tried out some tongue twisters and learned some strategies for acting, singing and dancing.

We travelled by bus to the Saskatoon Forestry Farm & Zoo for Safari Week.

We had a wiener roast, toasted some marshmallows for lunch and enjoyed our day exploring the zoo.

A big thank you to the ladies who run the Canwood Mini Golf, the kids loved golfing and seeing what was inside of the museum. Our last field trip was during Around the World Week when we

drove to Shellbrook and got together with the Shellbrook Playground Program for games and swimming. Thank you Shellbrook Swimming Pool for your donation of the “free pool swim time” for all of our participants.

The Summer Youth Program workers would like to thank the Student Summer Works Grant, Community Initiatives Funds, Canada Summer Jobs Funding, and Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority for sponsoring our program.

Thank you very much to all of the parents, and our supervisor, Canwood Community School Coordinator Diane Johnson, Whispering Pine Place Activity Workers, Wapiti Library and everyone else who spent their time making the program a huge success.

The biggest thank you goes out to all of the kids who attended the program; you have made this a fantastic summer. Without all of you the program would not exist.

I hope you guys had a great summer and we hope to see everyone back next year!

Labour day reality check: a look at government employee sick time As part of its “Labour Day Reality Check,” the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) released data today showing a large gap between sick leave taken by government workers in the province of Saskatchewan and everyone else.

The CTF is calling on all levels of governments to get its employee sick leave usage under control.

Statistics Canada data released by the CTF shows bureaucrats in Saskatchewan (working for all levels of government) used an average of 11 days in 2012. Meanwhile, the average Saskatchewan worker outside of government used just 6.9 days.

“Plain and simple, governments need to curb sick time usage,” said CTF Prairie Director Colin Craig.

“If government workers used the same amount of sick time as everyone else then governments could cut costs and reduce taxes for everyone.”

Sick/Disability Days Per Year (2012) Gov. (Government), NG (Non Government); Quebec - Gov. 12.2, NG 8.5; Manitoba - Gov. 12.1, NG 7.1; British Columbia – Gov. 12.0, NG 7.4; Novia Scotia – Gov. 12.0, NG 8.4; PEI – Gov 11.3, NG 6.3; Saskatchewan – Gov 11.0, NG 6.9; New Brunswick – Gov. 10.7, NG 7.1; Newfoundland – Gov. 10.7, NG 7.9; Alberta – Gov. 9.1, NG 5.6; Ontario – Gov. 8.8, NG 5.8 Source: Statistics Canada (Custom Order) Harper Government: Across the country, federal government employees took 17.9 days of sick leave, according to the most recent Treasury Board

survey. In comparison, the most recent national report from Statistics Canada shows employees working outside of government took only 6.7 sick days in 2012.

Government employees at the Department of National Defence booked off sick 18.6 days in the 2011-12 fiscal year – more than three and a half weeks, in additional to paid vacations which range from three to six weeks. Veterans Affairs employees booked off 24.2 sick days, averaging more than a month of sick time.

Wall Government: Provincially, employees took an average of 9.7 sick days in 2012/13; up slightly from 9.5 days in 2011-12. The Ministry of Corrections, Public Safety and Policing led the way with 12.2 days while Executive Council had the lowest utilization of sick leave with just five days per employee.

Things still pending Grains started the month of September higher as Labour Day weekend rains that were initially forecasted were not realized in the U.S. Midwest. Some of the best rains were seen in the western cornbelt but the overall average seemed to be only about 0.25 to 0.5 inches, when one inch was on the radar of many.

More dry days are anticipated in the U.S. Midwest, which ultimately will hurt the soybean crop as it still is filling pods. The weekly US Crop Progress report continues to show that the portion of the US corn and soybean crop rated good-to-excellent is falling. Further, U.S. domestic soybean stocks continue to drag down towards zero as demand remains consistently high.

The overall consensus seems to be that bullish weather in the US is being offset by bearish production numbers everywhere

else. Canola is following soybeans higher in the market despite record production expected here in the Great White North.

This, combined with Oil World’s prediction of a bigger rapeseed crop in the European Union and the group of 12 nations making up the former Soviet Union, the previous tight margin of supply seen the last 2 years is going to be erased.

Further offsetting the shrinking U.S. soybean crop is South American farmers planning to seed even more soybean acres than their record numbers last year. Oil World estimates this year’s soybean output down there to be about 152.7 million tonnes while local analyst Safras e Mercado says 160 million tonnes!

This obviously bodes well for big buyers like China, who’s expected to import about 65 million tonnes of soybeans in the 2013-

2014 marketing year.

Colder weather in some parts of Argentina and Brazil recently has analysts a little concerned over the development of the wheat crop planted just a few weeks ago.

It’s estimated that 10 to 30 per cent of Brazil’s wheat crop could be lost to the freezing temperatures. Lower wheat production in the form of one-to-two million tonnes is likely to also be seen Down Undaa as drier weather in Western Australia, Queensland, and New South Wales have hurt yields.

Nonetheless, the International Grains Council recently increased their global production estimate for wheat by four million tonnes to 691 million tonnes total.

The increase is reflected in higher production by, again, former Soviet Union countries, the European Union, and Canada.

One should look to take advantage of the

gains in the market currently and sell some of their crop on the rallies. When it comes to the bigger picture, a few singles (read: small gains) add up to some good statistics (read: big overall win).

Finally, the September trade will be characterized by the U.S. Federal Reserve’s midmonth meetings (expectation for a start of a QE tapering); US debt ceiling talks as the government will be broke sometime in October; German political elections, and geopolitical concerns in the Middle East continuing to hang over markets.

With many issues clogging the air and resolutions still pending, managing your risk will always be the most important. Play the game that’s in front of you.

To growth, Brennan Turner President, FarmLead.com

Wasp season is here

by Erl Svendsen Wasps are beneficial insects, even the ones that occasionally sting. They are busy parasitizing or otherwise preying on pesky houseflies or soft-bodied like caterpillars, some of which may be munching away in your garden. They are easily recognized: they have 2 translucent pairs of wings, are hairless (unlike bees), black and yellow or black and white, and 12 – 25 mm (0.5 – 1 inch) long depending on caste or type

(queen, worker or drone). Of the several species found in the prairies, it is the paper wasps, hornets and yellowjackets (the ones that I call nuisance wasps) that you need to watch out for.

As a social insect, they live in colonies ranging from less than a hundred to as many as 5000. You are probably most familiar with the large grey roundish papery hornet nest, suspended in trees, under eaves or from some other sturdy support. But

There are wasp control products sold in spray cans capable of shooting great distances. Wait until dusk when the wasps will have retired for the evening. Stand as far back as practical and be prepared to make a quick retreat. Aim for the opening and give the nest a good dose.

If it is a very large nest, you may have to repeat. If it is a suspended nest, enclose it in a plastic bag (after all activity has ceased) and tie it tightly at the top to prevent any survivors from escaping.

Place in freezer overnight to completely kill the colony before disposing in garbage.

Inspection Agency, have established safety levels in terms of livestock feed additives, and guidelines for approval of new crop varieties, including those based on genetic modifications.

Consumer concerns would also suggest a reduced trust in regulations being sufficient to ensure safe food on the table.

The lack of trust regarding government regulatory systems should be expected, since history is spotted with major failures including lead in paint, asbestos insulation, and the drug Thalidomide and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

That such health hazardous products were ever allowed is enough to at least question whether the government might have missed potential health issues with new developments such as GM-created ones.

So taking back direct control of food security by buying from known producers, or growing their own, will be an option for some.

It is unlikely it will ever be as it once was, where every home had a huge garden, but for some it is something wellworth pursuing.

Crop report August 20 to 26 Harvest is underway in all regions of the province. Warm weather with very few rain interruptions over the past week has helped speed crop development. Five per cent of the 2013 provincial crop has been combined, while 14 per cent has been swathed or is ready to straight cut, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report.

While harvest is behind the five-year average for this time of year, above average yields are being reported for most

areas. The five-year average (2008-2012) is 15 per cent combined and 22 per cent swathed or ready to straight cut.

Harvest operations in the southwest region are the furthest ahead with 14 per cent of the 2013 crop combined.

Across the province, 34 per cent of peas, 20 per cent of lentils, 27 per cent of winter wheat and 10 per cent of mustard have been combined. Twenty-six per cent of canola has been swathed. Spring cereals are maturing and in some ar-

eas producers have started swathing or are ready to straight cut the crops.

Rain recorded in the province last week ranged from nil to 31 mm. Grasshoppers and bertha armyworm caused some of the reported crop damage.

Farmers in all regions are busy swathing, desiccating, combining and cutting, and baling greenfeed.

Another successful shipment of pigs to China by Fast Genetics Fast Genetics and its parent company HyLife successfully sent a Boeing 747 cargo transport aircraft with 868 head of purebred breeding stock to Chengdu, China. The pigs originated from Fast Genetics’ nucleus sites near Spiritwood, Saskatchewan (Northern Saskatchewan) and were for its new customer Zigong Tequ Pig Farming Company.

Fast Genetics first sent pigs to China in 2008. That shipment formed the basis of a joint-venture partnership between HyLife and local Chinese partners called Tianzow Breeding. Today, Tianzow Breeding has over 12,000 purebred sows in China. Fast Genetics supplies its customers genetics via Tianzow Breeding in China or direct from Canada similar to the Zigong Tequ Pig Farming Company purchase.

Zigong Tequ Pig Farming Company is a division of Sichuan Tequ Investment Group, a West Hope Group company. Currently, Sichuan Tequ Investment Group supplies the market with two million slaughter pigs per year with expansion plans to slaughter five million pigs per year by 2015. Sichuan Tequ Investment Group is the largest supplier of feed in the Sichuan Province. Sichuan Tequ Investment Group has more than 4,300 employees, agricultural sales of over ¥10 billion per year, and 32 feed mills that produce four million tons of feed annually.

Headquartered in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Fast Genetics is a global leader in the pig genetics business. Fast Genetics provides outstanding hyper-prolific maternal lines and terminal lines that have unrivaled meat quality and

growth characteristics. For over 30 years, Fast Genetics has been at the forefront of innovation in regard to genetics and bio-security. With operations throughout Canada, US, and China, Fast Genetics has vast international experience and understands the importance of genetics from farrowto-plate.

La Broquerie, Manitoba-based HyLife is one of Canada’s leading integrated pork producers, producing 1.4 million and processing 1.6 million hogs annually in Canada and the United States. Founded in 1994 as a joint-venture, HyLife quickly grew to become a global supplier of pork products with a strong international presence in China, Japan, and Russia. Today, HyLife is recognized as one of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies.

Harper government helps increase Western Canada’s exports Western Canadian exporters will expand their reach to international markets thanks to a federal investment announced today by the Honourable Michelle Rempel, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification. Through this project, the Government of Canada is partnering with trade organizations and national industry associations in the four western provinces to establish new international markets for western Canadian goods, services and products.

“Western Canada has the natural resources, agricultural commodities and technological expertise to thrive in a trade-driven global economy,” said Minister Rempel. “By expanding the reach of Canadian technology innovations and value-added products, we’re building a strong, diverse economy and creating long-term prosperity for all Canadians.”

Federal funding of $1,128,400 to the Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership (STEP) through Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD) will raise the profile of western Canadian companies participating in international

trade shows and export missions. Over a two-year period, STEP and its provincial partners will coordinate participation of companies from across the West at trade shows and conferences in Asia, Eastern Europe, South America and the United States. These trade organizations will help companies entering the international marketplace successfully navigate unfamiliar diplomatic and regulatory channels and link experienced exporters with potential customers.

“The targeted support received from Western Economic Diversification Canada and the combined efforts of the provincial trade agencies involved in today’s announcement will provide further opportunities for STEP members to participate in international trade shows where they can market their goods and services to the world,” said Lionel LaBelle, President & CEO of STEP. “STEP recognizes the need to carry the Canadian flag and this agreement allows both Saskatchewan and our sister provinces to do so in an effective and cohesive manner. Furthering opportunities

for our members is our primary focus.”

Exports to these priority markets were identified as having the best potential for growth by the Government of Canada’s Global Commerce Strategy and offer western Canadian businesses the greatest opportunity to maximize economic returns.

STEP is a partnership of industry and government which champions Saskatchewan’s export industry and assists provincial businesses in realizing global marketing opportunities while finding custom solutions for Saskatchewan exporters.

Since 2006, the Harper Government, through WD, has invested in job-creating small- and medium-sized businesses, aerospace, marine and defence industries, and supported innovative entrepreneurs in pursuing emerging markets.

By continuing to promote new economic opportunities, WD is helping to create jobs, economic growth, and long-term prosperity.

Government approves Saskenergy Delivery Service Rate Increase

The Government of Saskatchewan today approved SaskEnergy’s application for a two-year delivery service rate increase. At the same time, government announced SaskEnergy will not be applying for a commodity rate change this winter. SaskEnergy’s current commodity rate of $3.82/ Gigajoule (GJ) is its lowest since 2000.

With the change to the delivery service rate, the average monthly bill for residential customers will increase 2.1 per cent beginning Sept 1, 2013 and 1.2 per cent beginning Sept 1, 2014. A typical residential customer could see an average increase of $1.46/month in the first year and $0.87/month in the second year, depending on natural gas usage.

“SaskEnergy’s delivery service rate reflects the need to provide vital investments in safety and pipeline integrity

programs for a natural gas system that has seen unprecedented residential, business and industrial customer growth over the last six years,” Minister responsible for SaskEnergy Tim McMillan said.

In April, SaskEnergy applied to the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel to increase to its Delivery Service Rate – specifically to the volume-based delivery charge that applies to the amount of natural gas a customer uses. The panel recommended government approve the changes, subject to the condition that prior to the second year increase requested, SaskEnergy provide updated financial information.

SaskEnergy will be submitting this requested information to the panel in 2014.

This multi-year application provides customers with lon-

September 6, 2013

ger-term rate certainty, allowing for better budgeting and planning.

“Over the last several years, SaskEnergy has worked to offset additional delivery rate pressures through productivity and efficiency measures,” McMillan said. “Since 2009, they have achieved $22 million in efficiencies, with a further $5 million targeted for 2013.”

Even with the change to the delivery service rate, SaskEnergy’s residential delivery costs will remain the lowest of any natural gas utility in the country. SaskEnergy sets its commodity rate based on a 12-month projection, with its current rate reflective of the costs required to purchase customers’ gas from producers on the open market. SaskEnergy will next review its commodity rate in spring 2014.

Sask Seniors Assoc. Inc. newsletter SSAI’s convention is over with for another year. The news from that is that my time as President has come to an end and Sheila Righi, the past first vice president has taken over the reins and all letters and communictions should now be addressed to her. I wish her all the best for at least the next two years which is the term stipulated by our constitution and by laws for the Presidents’ position.

My best wishes also go to the new first vice president, Fern Haight which is a name that is familiar to a lot of you. Best wishes also to Lorna Weldon who retained her position as 2nd vice president.

I have agreed to help the new president by continuing to write the news letters, so for now it will be business as usual in respect to that. There will be a steady change over of some of the work that was initiated while I was president but it should not take too long before Sheila has the job well in hand.

I know that she will do a great job because in my term as president we worked so closely together and she well knows the type of problems that concern all seniors, not just the ones here in Saskatchewan.

I really enjoyed my 4 years as president and although there were many ups and downs in addressing the concerns of seniors, there was always the pleasure obtained from getting to know a large number of the members of SSAI. It was a privilege to be able to talk and listen to you. I learned so much from you all and I hope that I gave a little back.

June and July were not the best of months with a great deal of rain and cool weather.. To the extent that it really has caused a large number of problems all across the province. It is of no consolation that this weather pattern has caused major damage in other provinces, no one but BC seems to have been spared.

Other disasters and accidents have occurred since the last news letter but like everyone else you must all be keeping up with the bad news.. A shining light for all the Royalists across the country is the birth of a new Prince, congratulations to the happy couple of parents.

Resolutions that were approved at convention to be forwarded to the Federal Government dealing with pensions, health and housing have been sent off, in care of our national body of seniors. They will be presenting them in person sometime later in the year.

The other resolutions dealing with the drug plan, matters of health concerns, property taxes, school taxes, closure of some rural bus routes and of course funding for senior centers have been forwarded to SSM for their support when presented to the Provincial Government.

We now as seniors have to exercise all the patience we are gifted with to await our Premiers response to them. Summer break for them should be over with soon and then and only then will those topics be dealt with.

I would remind all seniors to not hold their breath while waiting for any news from the government. It would appear to me that the last few years have not been the best of times to be a senior, while that does not hold true for other segments of our society it does seem that there is some reluctance to recognize and correct problems that concern seniors from our elected officials.

Seniors over their life span have learned to be patient and not expect quick fixes. Although tomorrow or next week or even next month is probably too much to hope for it would be nice if at least we could get the changes we need this decade.

The health system is in deep whatever and with no change in attitudes or responses to the problem of the ever increasing number of people requiring more health care as they get older it would appear the problem will only be worse rather than better in the future.

Pensions, both CPP and OAS as they relate to the ever increasing rise in the real cost of living are a joke. Minimal increases of less than 1% two or three times a year do not

even start to cover the rise in the price of bread, milk and vegetables to name just a few items. We are reminded constantly to eat healthy and it’s a fine idea but someone, somewhere has to come up with a plan to make it affordable for those people making do on low incomes, including seniors.

The next meeting for the executive board of SSAI is slated to be held in early September where the business of the association will continue as directed by the recent convention. As a board and as members of this association we all will have to work together to make some of the changes that are required a reality.

So enjoy all the “Fall” suppers and all the good food there that has been grown in gardens that were sown with hope and tenderness along with large helpings of other stuff. It may be organic or it may not be organic but whatever it is it all seems to taste so good at this time of the year.

Be sure that along with all this eating you take the time to enjoy the beauty that surrounds us, stay active and keep healthy and pass along a smile to your neighbor. If you do it often enough it may catch on so that everyone will benefit.

Len Fallows, Past President SSAI.

Local group returns home after trip of a lifetime

Continued from Page 2 These include maternal health, diversity, water, sanitation, and education. The fact that this community chose education over clean drinking water really struck a chord with the Shellbrook visitors, allowing them to take a closer look at the advantages that we have in our country, and how we sometimes take them for granted.

The group claims that when they first arrived in Ghana, some

were skeptical as to how much work a group consisting of seven girls and only two boys would get done. By the end of their trip, however, they had proven their detractors wrong, as the school was much closer to being complete than it was when they first arrived.

The plan was for the school to be finished by September g p from Shellbrook, theyy 15, and thanks to the work of the group

should still be able to meet that deadline.

Everyone who made the trip agreed that it was a life changing experience. They returned to Shellbrook with a newfound appreciation for some of the things that all of us take for granted on a daily basis, things like fresh air, clean water and education.

It was certainly the trip of a lifetime, and one that will not soon g be forgotten.

Budget-friendly outdoor renovation ideas

Homeowners are increasingly extending their living spaces outside the walls of their homes. Expansive and intricate stonework patios and decked-out outdoor kitchens are the kind of additions many homeowners dream of. Those with unlimited budgets can enjoy just about any

look they desire, but many homeowners may not have the money to go all the way with their outdoor living spaces. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to create budget-friendly spaces that are functional, fun and eye catching.

Decks and patios are popular gather-

TOWN OF SHELLBROOK PUBLIC NOTICE Public Notice is hereby given that the Council of the Town of Shellbrook, Pursuant to Section 207 of The Planning and Development Act, 2007 intends to pass a bylaw to amend Zoning Bylaw No. 2012-07 as hereinafter provided: It is proposed to amend the said Zoning Bylaw as follows: 1. To zone those portions of NW 9-49-3 W3rd shown as “FUD” on the attached map to an M – Industrial District as proposed by Peter F. Unger 2. To zone the balance of the area on NW 9-49-3 W3rd shown in bold outline on the map immediately below to an M – Industrial District.

ing spots outside a home, and homeowners have numerous inexpensive options at their disposal when choosing patio materials. And those who can do their own labor when installing a patio can save a substantial amount of money. Instead of higher-priced composite or resin decks, homeowners can go with standard wood, which will need to be stained periodically.

Scaling back the size of the deck means less materials to buy and less labor involved.

The cost of patio blocks depends on the material and style. Poured concrete patios will cost less than placed blocks or stones because concrete is less labor-intensive.

For those who desire the look of patio blocks without the cost, stamped concrete can mimic the look for less.

Homeowners may not need to replace patio furniture, even if chairs and tables have seen better days. A can of spray paint can cover up any rusted areas or spots where paint has peeled off due to exposure to the elements. Updating cushions and purchasing a coordinating umbrella can revitalize the patio’s entire look. Also, very often stores run sales to clear out merchandise for new displays.

Defining edges of planting borders and refreshing the landscape may be all that is

needed to improve the yard. This is easily achieved with inexpensive mulch and some vinyl edging. While cleaning up the yard, use a pressure washer to clean stains off of siding and patios and create a like-new appearance.

End-of-season sales can also be the ideal opportunity to purchase big-ticket items like a pool, a hot tub or an outdoor fireplace/fire pit. Shoppers can learn when stores discount their merchandise to make room for new inventory and then use these sales as opportunities to save.

Sometimes saving means repurposing antiques or items found at garage sales.

Thanks to the Internet, people can easily advertise items they no longer need or desire. A person can search for backyard items they need at a deep discount if they are fine with previously used materials.

From patio furniture to masonry blocks to above-ground pools, patient homeowners can find just about any item they may need to upgrade their backyards.

Though not all homeowners can afford to create the backyard of their dreams, with a little ingenuity and some sweat hard work, homeowners can still create an outdoor oasis.

How to rid your home of drafts

3. To re-zone those portions of SE 16-49-3 W3rd shown as “FUD on the attached map to R2 – Medium Density Residential as proposed by Regan Rayner

Purpose The purpose of the amendment is to permit various types of Industrial development to occur on the NW 9-49-3-W3rd and to permit various types of residential development to occur on SE 16-49-03-W3rd.

Bylaw Inspection The Bylaw may be inspected by an interested person at the Municipal Office in Shellbrook on any judicial day from Monday to Friday between the hours of 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Copies are available to persons at a cost of $1.00 each.

Public Hearing Representations respecting the amendment will be considered by Council at 6:00 PM on the 23rd Day of September, 2013 in the Council Chambers of the Municipal Office in Shellbrook, Saskatchewan. Council shall hear any person or group of persons or person acting on their behalf who wish to make a presentation. Written submissions received by the Administrator prior to that date will be considered by Council as well.

Issued at Shellbrook, this 23rd day of August 2013.

Kelly Hoare, Administrator

Think about what it might be like if you turned up the heat and then opened all of the windows in your home. All of that warm air would rush right out, and you would be left with a cold home and a hefty heating bill.

A home that is full of drafts is inefficient and expensive. And drafty homes are not just a problem when the weather is cold, as air that seeps in when you’re trying to keep the home cool can be an inefficient nuisance as well. Higher energy bills and wasted resources do not have to be tolerated if you simply scour your home for drafts, sealing them to cut energy costs and make the home more comfortable.

Drafts are often small cracks around windows and doors, but there are many other places where drafts can form. Knowing some of the less visible spots where drafts come from may help you to seal out unwanted cold air more effectively.

Attic Homes that feature attics with pull-down stairs tend to be drafty. In such homes, a large hole is cut out of the ceiling so residents can access the attic. So instead of thick insulation, these homes may only have a sheet of plywood blocking your interior space from the outdoors, as many attics are directly vented to the roof. To determine if there is a leak, turn on the attic light, close the attic door, and check to see if you can see the light on from below. If you can, then there is a gap letting both the light and air escape. In addition to using flexible rubber around the opening of the attic to better seal the door when it is closed, you can think about adding a thicker, more insulated door.

Dryer vents The standard home laundry dryer vents outdoors via an exhaust duct. This duct is open to the outdoors, and it may be letting cold air into the home. That’s because there is typically a flimsy flapper made of sheet metal on the outside of the vent to help protect against air infiltration. But over time dryer lint can accumulate at the vent opening, causing the metal flapper to stay open when it should close. Homeowners can in-

vest in dryer seals that close the vent when the dryer is not in use. Not only does this prevent cold air from entering the house, but also it keeps out pests, like bugs and rodents.

Pipes Check pipes that exit the home, such as those that feed outdoor water spigots, as such pipes can let cold air back into the house. The same can be said for waste pipes.

Also, check to see if pipes that connect to garages, basements and crawl spaces are not insulated. Use sealant around these pipes to block drafts into the home. Foam insulation can be sprayed into small crevices, where it will expand and harden, blocking off air access. These damp, cool spots are also great places for insects to enter the home. Sealing drafts also may prevent bugs from entering the home.

Fireplaces Although fireplaces often make for decorative and appealing accents to a home, many are not effective sources of ambient heat. They may draw more warm air out of the flue than they bring into the house.

When a fireplace is not in use, air can rise out of the chimney and a draft can be felt in the home. Some studies indicate that an open damper on an unused fireplace, even in a well-insulated home, can increase overall heating and cooling energy consumption by 30 percent.

If you simply must have a fireplace, remember to always keep the damper shut when the fireplace is not in use and use a glass cover you can seal tightly to further block the opening to the fireplace from your living space. Fireplace plugs, which can keep out drafts during the season when fireplaces are not in use, may also be a worthwhile investment.

Electrical outlets Outlets and light switches can be significant sources of drafts in a home. Check to see that the switch plates are secure. If drafts still come through, then employ outlet draft blockers to prevent cool air from entering the home and warm air from exiting it.

Fighting cancer with food Cancer is a potentially deadly disease with no cure.

While cancer can be treated effectively, there is no way for men and women to eliminate their risk of developing cancer.

Though cancer may strike even the healthiest of persons, there are ways men, women and even children can reduce their risk.

One such way is to consume certain foods that researchers feel can reduce cancer risk. Though precisely how these foods fight cancer remains a mystery, cancer researchers feel they can effectively lower an individual’s cancer risk when combined to form a healthy diet. * Beans: Beans boast numerous healthy attributes, and their potential to reduce cancer risk is one such attribute. Beans contain many phytochemicals that researchers feel protect the cells from the type of damage that can ultimately make a person susceptible to cancer.

Beans also have been shown to decelerate tumor growth and prevent tumors from releasing potentially harmful substances that can damage nearby cells. * Colorful fruits and vegetables: It may seem odd that a food’s color can have an impact on cancer risk, but colorful fruits and vegetables contain more cancerfighting nutrients than fruits and vegetables that aren’t as flashy.Consuming such fruits and vegetables also helps men and women maintain a healthy body weight, an important benefit when considering overweight and obesity increases a person’s risk for multiple cancers. * Foods with folate: Folate is a B vitamin that can reduce

a person’s risk of developing several cancers, including those of the colon, rectum and breast. Those who are fond of a healthy breakfast to begin their day may already be getting healthy doses of folate, which can be found in eggs, fortified breakfast cereals, orange juice, and strawberries, among other foods. * Grapes: Studies have shown resveratrol, a key ingredient in grapes, may prevent the type of damage that triggers the production of cancerous cells. Though scientists are not yet comfortable saying grapes, or beverages like grape juice and wine, can reduce cancer risk,

they believe the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of grapes make them a healthy option. * Tomatoes: Tomatoes are widely beloved, and perhaps that love affair stems from the tomato’s role in fighting cancer. Tomatoes have been linked to lowering men’s risk for prostate cancer.

Research from the author of the 1995 study found that processed tomatoes, such as those found in tomato paste and tomato sauce, were even more effective at reducing cancer risk than fresh tomatoes. Tomatoes have also been linked to lowering a person’s risk for lung and stom-

ach cancers. * Water: Water may not qualify as a food, but it may protect people from bladder cancer. Potential cancercausing agents in the bladder are diluted when drinking water. In addition, the more water you drink the more frequently you’re likely to urinate, which means cancercausing agents have less time to come into contact with the lining of your bladder.

Though one food alone may not be potent enough to do the job, when several cancerfighting foods are included in a person’s diet, the effects may be significant.

Grant St. Germaine, North District Commander for the RCMP out of Prince Albert, led off the discussion by outlining all of the background information and the steps that led to the current situation. Most of this information has already been reported in previous Chronicle articles, the bottom line remaining that the building that currently houses the detachment is out of date, and a change needs to be made.

In their analysis of where the new detachment should go, one driving factor remains that the bulk of the RCMP’s work is located at Ahtahkakoop, which makes the First Nation a strong candidate for the new building.

St. Germaine reiterated numerous times throughout the meeting that the relocation of the detachment, wherever it ends up, A large gathering of RCMP and government officials, as well as people representing the Town and RM of Shellbrook, met in the Council Chambers on September 4 to discuss the future of the Shellbrook RCMP Detachment.
